2007 Toyota Tundra Regular Cab w/SAB Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2007 Toyota Tundra Regular Cab w/SAB

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

"a new transmission was put in my 07 tundra in 2018 (do to improper service) worked well at that time. in 2019 tail shaft seal started to leak again was then replaced with a new seal geniune toyota seal has worked well for about 3k miles and has started to leak again it seems to only leak after once the truck gets warmed up and only when it is in motion on hwy or streets. i am seeing a lot of complaints online about this! will include links. i see recalls for 07 4wd for this problem but not for the 2wd why it sounds like the same problem exactly, and feel this could be a big safety problem leading to an accident, fire or death. https://www.tundratalk.net/threads/transmission-tailshaft-seal-leak.105127/ https://www.kbb.com/toyota/tundra-double-cab/2007/recall/?mileage=96000 https://www.carcomplaints.com/toyota/tundra/2007/drivetrain/power_train.shtml there is some type of driveline or seal problem here and it is clear it's not just the 2007 4wd it also affects the 2007 2wd tundra trucks as well being the transition is a close system and the consumer can't ad transition fluid when it's low this problem is unacceptable not to mention the many safety issues this could cause the driver and others on the road or hwy."
